[jira] [Commented] (CB-3846) NPM install fails to produce a workable install

["Filip Maj (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3846?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13685895#comment-13685895 ] 

Filip Maj commented on CB-3846:
-------------------------------

Ahh yes, so running {{build}} immediately after that upgrade would be the issue.

Since 2.8.16, the libraries are lazy loaded from a hidden directory in your home dir (as you can see in the error in your situation). So, after upgrading, and going straight to {{build}}, the tools think the libraries should be under the lazy load directory, but since you never called {{platform add}}, they're not actually there.

So, in your project, if you go to remove the ios platform and re-add it, it should work. Something like:
{code}
cd myproject
cordova platform rm ios
cordova platform add ios
cordova build
{code}
.. should work.

Let me know how that pans out for you.

> I tried to upgrade my version of Cordova to 2.8.19 using npm using the following command, "sudo npm install -g cordova".  This appeared to work but it resulted in an incomplete install.  When I try to build my application I get an error-> cp: no such file or directory: /Users/Joe/.cordova/lib/ios/cordova/2.8.0/CordovaLib/cordova.js
> Which is because /Users/Joe/.cordova/ is empty.
